TEDx Concordia College: Carolyn Holbrook

  • Barry Auditorium, Grant Center, Offutt School of Business (map)

Carolyn Holbrook will be giving a TEDxConcordia talk!

Around the theme LEGACY – Generational impact portraying the influence of human potential. Since the pandemic started, we have realized tomorrow is not promised. What would be our legacy right now, if there was no tomorrow? Does everyone have equal opportunities and access to resources to establish their legacy? What is the definition of legacy, and is it the same for everybody? Has the definition of legacy evolved as everything else in our daily lives is changing? What do you think?

Other speakers include: Carolyn Holbrook, Dr. William J. Craft, Kumba N. Glay, Tracy Lysne, Francis Martinson, Chelsea Masikati, Elham Nasratullah, Amanda Pieters and Mukai Selekwa.


ABOUT TED:

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. TED Conferences invite the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less. Many of these talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and more.  TEDx, supports individuals or groups in hosting local, self-organized TED-style events around the world, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

TEDxConcordiaCollege is an independently organized TED half-day event with an audience of a hundred guests. We want to bring the spirit of TED to Concordia and the Fargo-Moorhead area through our theme, LEGACY. Our goal is to bring together bright minds to give talks that are idea-focused and speak on legacy from different perspectives, to foster learning, inspiration, and wonder, and provoke conversations that matter in our community.
